Ok, now I have heard it all

Guys, I agree the man is worse than scum (and the woman, too), but sometimes these sentences are what they are because the laws stipulate a maximum sentence and the judge and jury don't have the legal right to make it longer (that may not be the case here, but just something to keep in mind). It might be judicial abuse, or the judiciary's hands might be tied and you should be screaming at the legislators.

On the other hand, have you read about the 17-year-old who has been sentenced to a mandatory 10 years in jail because a 15-year-old classmate gave him a bl*w job? Even the judge was unhappy, but he had no choice under the law. The kid would have gotten a lighter sentence if he'd had actual intercourse with the girl-- Georgia laws are harsher on oral sex with minors than intercourse. Here's a link:

Not to say the case isn't sordid but ten years for a hummer? A consensual hummer?
